The Atlantic hurricane season has reached mid-September without a single hurricane recorded, a notable and positive development for the United States. This quiet period brings significant relief to coastal communities along the East Coast and in Florida, which are typically vulnerable to destructive storms during this time of year.
Experts attribute the current calm to various atmospheric conditions, including the influence of the El Niño Southern Oscillation. The absence of hurricanes so far this season provides a welcome respite and reduces the immediate threat of severe weather impacts on infrastructure and residents.
